Register now for our first annual conference, themed 'Strong Fathers, Strong Families - Building, Renewing and Healing the Connection'.    Our theme lays the foundation for two full days of workshops and presentations that will motivate, inspire, and educate. We have invited local and national experts in effective practices, strategies and program development.  The workshops will offer three learning tracks:

• Responsible Fatherhood
• The Father Daughter Relationship
• Healthy Fathers; Healthy Families

We will complete our two day conference with a banquet, 'All Star Dads Father-Daughter Banquet', on Friday evening to celebrate and honor local fathers.  We will select a unique group of men who father their children in a variety of different relationships from the traditional in-tact family to fathers who face challenges like incarceration, unemployment, and more.

We are proud to honor the following outstanding men in our community:

• Sheriff Benny Napoleon
• John Barfield, Sr.
• Kenneth V. Cockrel, Detroit Councilman
• Edward Hernandez
• Harvey Santana, Candidate, State Representative
• Kevin Bell, Chrysler Corporation
• Derron Sanders
• Joseph Coleman, Dads Clubs, Inc.
• Verillis Davis
• Jimmy Womack, State Representative
• Arthur Jones
• Manny Ramirez, Detroit Lions
• Eddie Jackson
• Blaine Hansknecht
• others...
  

Join us to help promote healthy father-child relationships, address the social problems that result from "father absence" and strategize as to what we must do, as a community to ensure that every child has a dad in her or her life.
